Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star...

Good evening peeps!

I just wanted to pop this little card on my blog, it's for a friend who has recently become a daddy! I have to say I had a bit of  a nightmare with this card... I did my usual doodling around the egde and it just didn't look right hence the lilac border! It looks ok, but I won't make a habit of this ;)

The image is from Pollycraft, so cute! I've coloured with Promarkers, of course! I'm entering my card for the Passion for Promarkers Challenge - Moon & Stars.

Right off to see how my bread is cooking... in the bread machine that is... you can smell freshly baked bread around the house! xx

Cupcake Sketch

Good morning to you all! Something completely different from yesterday's card for me today. It's time for a new challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenge, and the lovely Donna has created a fab sketch for us all. Here it is...

Remembrance Day

Good evening peeps!

I just wanted to share a little card I made to commemorate Remembrance Day.

Have a lovely evening and thanks for visiting xx

A Nice Cup Of Tea!

Ok, so I might not be the world's best nurse (although I'm pleased to report that my patient is feeling a bit better despite my efforts), but I can make a decent cup of tea. I have to confess though that I wasn't a huge fan of tea until I came to live in France... then the Brit in me kicked in!

My (french) friend visited me this week with her little girl. We were chatting (in french) and looking through some old photos and I came across one of me in my school uniform. I explained that in the UK kids wear uniforms to school (unlike in France). My friend's little girl looked puzzled, so I asked what was wrong... she said "Were you English when you were little?"... too cute!

Ok, we have a new challenge this fortnight at Di's Digi Designs Challenge blog, FALL COLOURS, so any autumnal colours will do just fine! I've created my card using this really cute teddy digi stamp from Di's Digi Downloads called Tea Cup Teddy, isn't she gorgeous? I've kept my card fairly simple. I wanted to keep a lot of the kraft card visible and the card to be unclutterd, the image is so cute I didn't want to distract from it. 

We are lucky to have a generous sponsor this fortnight which is Sweet Stamps. Please drop by the challenge blog to find out more details about the challenge, our sponsor and to see the lovely creations the Design Team have made! Oh and thanks so much for your visit here today! xx

A nurse I am not...

Coucou! How are you all today? Hope you had a nice evening last night for Nov 5th, whether you went out to see a firework display, or just stayed in all cosy like me!

Well today I am playing nurse to a very sad looking hubby, he put his back out at work yesterday and is not a happy bunny! He was in rather a bad mood last night {you know when you get the impression that EVERYTHING is your fault... us girls would never be like that ahem}, I was pleased when he got some pills from the doc... in no time he was out like a light! So now he's off sick for a few days and isn't best pleased about it! Maybe I'll get the Dyson out later, when I think he's slept enough ;)

Anyhow, here's a little card I made after being inspired by the challenge over at Little Miss Muffet Challenge, the theme is Fireworks. I've used this super cute stamp called Clover Dancing with Dragonflies, you can find it HERE over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps. I'd also like to enter my card into the challenge at Cute Card Thursday - Fairies & Angels, and Passion For Promarkers - In the Garden.

Right, better go and check on the patient!

Remember, Remember...

Good evening peeps! Remember, remember the 5th of Nov... yep it's almost Guy Fawkes in the UK... or Bonfire Night as I called it! What I remember about Nov 5th is freezing my bits off waiting for my tatty to cook on the bonfire we had on the local playing field, and the catherine wheel that never spun properly when it was pinned to the garden fence! Obviously, Guy Fawkes isn't celebrated in France, so just a normal day here!

Anyway, just wanted to pop by to share a little card I made for a friend, I've used an explosion of colours {hehe}... it's fairly CAS but I like it. And the little cat says... "Don't forget to keep all pets indoors this Bonfire Night!" Have a good but safe night!

Hugs, Shelly x

Happy Halloween!

I've had this halloween image for a very long time and have never coloured it... so I thought it was about time! It's an image from Pollycraft (which sadly no longer exsists), one of the Luna Bitterfrost series. I just had the urge to colour those pumpkins! And then I just had to make a card! Hope you likey ;)

I loved Halloween when I was little, my dad would help me to hollow out a turnip to make a lantern (did you know that originally turnips were used to celebrate Halloween, pumpkins appeared when the pagan festival was introduced to North America by the Irish and Scottish immigrants). I remember it always being windy and my lantern would blow out all the time (yep we used candles in those days, not torches)! Here in France Halloween isn't celebrated much, shame as I really looked forward to it as a kid! So for those celebrating Halloween, have fun!
